Ten thousand flags are waving
But you hear no-one complain
As the boats go down the river
Through the summers mist and rain
And you look so proud as you sing aloud
You’re so happy to be free
As you bow and scrape
And doff your cap
Just to show your loyalty
Just to be a part
You’d love to be a part
But you’ll never be a part of the bloodline royalty
This ain’t 1748
Too many years have gone by
The colour has long since faded
From your Canaletto sky
And with a wave of the hand
They’ll take our land
And rattle their shiny jewels
Look down from grand palaces
On a kingdom full of fools
Who’d love to be a part
Love to be a part
But you’ll never be a part of the bloodline royalty
